Summary

*Title: 'Escaped Panther Battles with Dogs at Raglan Castle'

Artist: Sydney P. Hall

Publisher: Engraving from "The Graphic" circa July 1875

Source: From my private collection Headphonos

*Background:

A caged leopard called "The Great Mogul", escapes form confinement and wanders into a yard where dogs are chained. Mistress of the house, Dorothy, releases "Marquis" an English Mastiff, "O'Brian" an Irish Wolfhound and "Strafford" a Lurcher: The dogs move in at speed, but make little headway. Another dog is released. Missing all the fun a fifth dog "Shafto" a small Bull Terrier...."Mad with rage and jealousy..." struggles to get free. Men with ropes, armed with scythes and pitchforks, recapture the panther.

The son of renowned horse painter, Harry Hall, Sydney Prior Hall was born in England and attended the University of Oxford where he graduated with a first (degree with high honors). Sydney decided he wanted to pursue a career in the arts, and after graduation he gained employment with The Graphic, an illustrated newspaper, shortly after its foundation in 1869. The Graphic was considered a major alternative to The Illustrated London News and after Sydney’s vivid visual coverage of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870-71, both The Graphic and Sydney Prior Hall had established their success.
